I find the best way to cook is to cook with people. Make it a social thing. Then, if one of you forgets about something, hopefully the other remembers. Also, setting timers. That's probably the biggest tool, aside from measuring devices.

You know I'm gonna have to ask you to make it at some point, for totally scientific purposes. And to make sure you aren't lying.
